In today’s dental business environment, going it alone in private practice is a bigger risk than ever. There are more dentists, more group practices, and more corporate dental companies competing for the same patients. Dental insurance companies dictate treatment for patients, and reimbursements continue to decline, while the cost of doing business increases.

In an ADA Research Brief (Bradley Munson & Marko Vujicic, 2014)1, it is reported that:
• Office-based dentists’ earnings are not rebounding, despite several years of economic recovery since the “Great Recession” of the early 2000s.
• Low dentist “busyness” levels and decreased wait times indicate that additional capacity is available in the dental care system.
• Given that dental spending is expected to remain sluggish, while the supply of dentists is expected to increase, the prospects for office-based dentists’ earnings will likely be flat.

Aligning yourself with a business model which has proven to maintain a high profit margin, a desirable work-life balance, and satisfying clinical practices is good advice.Break Out of the Mold
